Is Maple Leafs general manager David Nonis finished adding players as the National Hockey League turns its attention to unrestricted free agency, which opens on Friday?

No.

“We are working on some things that might free up some (salary) cap space and if that happens, it will have an impact (on what the Leafs might do in free agency),” Nonis said on Sunday. “We’re definitely going to look at our options between now and Friday at every position and there might be some things that open up, more likely via trade. I think teams are going to leave New Jersey and take stock of what they have.

“It’s not going to go quiet after today.”

Don’t expect to see winger Clarke MacArthur return to Toronto. MacArthur is heading toward free agency, and Nonis said it’s “definitely a possibility” that MacArthur will not be re-signed.

Nonis said it’s possible, but unlikely, that he will use both compliance buyouts prior to the deadline on Thursday, and it’s all but certainty one will be used on defenceman Mike Komisarek. MacArthur was a $3.25-million US salary cap hit last season, Komisarek $3.575 million.

The Leafs have used approximately $48-million against a salary cap that will drop to $64.3-million next season. Nazem Kadri has to be re-signed, as do Joe Colborne and Frazer McLaren and defencemen Carl Gunnarsson, Cody Franson and Mark Fraser, as well as Bernier. All are restricted free agents.

The Leafs met with impending free agent Vincent Lecavalier on Saturday night in Manhattan, and another player who could be on the radar is New Jersey Devils winger David Clarkson. Like Bolland, Clarkson hails from Mimico.

Though Leo Komarov was not a prolific scorer, there’s no doubt the Leafs will try to replace the grit that Komarov took back to the KHL. But that might include a promotion from the Marlies, which could be good news for Carter Ashton.

The Leafs’ goal remains to re-sign centre Tyler Bozak.

“I would not rule out signing Tyler at all,” Bozak said. “We have things we can do to make room and Bozie is an important part of our team last year, and if we can find a way of getting him signed, then we will. Nothing has changed in that regard from our standpoint.

“(Centre) is still an area of, I wouldn’t say weakness, but we’re not incredibly deep down the middle.”

The bottom line is that some of the conversations Nonis had with his fellow GMs during the weekend could solidify into tangible trade talks this week.

“(Bernier and Bolland) are a start,” Nonis said.

“We think there are some more things we hope to do. Whether we accomplish those between and now and September remains to be seen, but we’re going to try to remain active and see if there are more changes we can make. There are a couple of other possible moves that may happen as we get into free agency. Some teams are looking to address certain needs. If they are unable to do that, I think we are in a position to help those teams out.”

Nonis feels he's not done, yet
